I think that the problem is that you need to set your environment.
If you type
echo $PATH
This is what I get by typing echo $PATH :
[Mononoke:/usr/X11R6/man] chihiro% echo $PATH
/usr/local/qt/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/
powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/bin
and
echo $MANPATH
And when I typed this I got :
[Mononoke:/usr/X11R6/man] chihiro% echo $MANPATH
/usr/local/qt/doc/man
in Terminal or in an xterm, I think you'll fink that they are fairly
barren. How to add things to your path and manpath depends upon
whether you are using bash or tcsh or ...
Since I did an "archive and install" option of Panther upgrade, tcsh
was preserved to my great displeasure.
From 10.2 on, I believe, the paths for man pages are determined by
'manpath' (see 'man' for details).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I can't even "man ls" do you think I can "man man" for details? Unless
I do that on my Unix machine :-)
You can override this by setting MANPATH, but generally, it's better
to work with "manpath.conf".
How do I set MANPATH? and How do I "work" with manpath.conf?
